Matthew 19

Teaching About Divorce
Mk 10:1–12
1#Jn 10:40Now when Jesus finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2#Mt 12:15Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3#Jn 8:6The Pharisees also came to Him, tempting Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4#Ge 1:27; 5:2He answered, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’#Ge 1:27; 5:2. 5#1Co 6:16; Eph 5:31and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’#Ge 2:24.? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”
7#Dt 24:1–4; Mt 5:31They said to Him, “Then why did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to send her away?”#Dt 24:1–4.
8#Ge 2:24He said to them, “Moses, for the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9#Mt 5:32; 1Co 7:39; Lk 16:18But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
11#1Co 7:17; Mt 13:11But He said to them, “Not all men can receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given. 12For there are some eunuchs who have been so from birth, there are some eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”
Little Children Blessed
Mk 10:13–16; Lk 18:15–17
13Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14#Mt 18:3; Lk 18:16–17But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
The Rich Young Man
Mk 10:17–31; Lk 18:18–30
16#Mt 25:46; Jn 3:15Now one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good deed shall I do to have eternal life?”
17#Lev 18:5; Ro 10:5He replied to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is One who is good. But if you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
18He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,#Ex 20:13–16; Dt 5:17–20. 19#Lev 19:18; Mt 22:39; Ex 20:12Honor your father and your mother,#Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16. and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.#Lev 19:18.”
20#Php 3:6The young man said to Him, “All these I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21#Lk 12:33; Ac 2:45Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
22#Eze 33:31But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful. For he had great possessions.
23#Mt 13:22; Mk 10:23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly, I say to you that it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24#Mk 10:24–25; Lk 18:25And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25When His disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26#Job 42:2; Lk 1:37; Ge 18:14But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27Then Peter answered Him, “See, we have left everything and followed You. What then shall we have?”
28#Rev 3:21; Mt 25:31Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29#Lk 14:26; Mt 19:16And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for My name’s sake shall receive a hundred times as much and inherit eternal life. 30#Mt 20:16; Mk 10:31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Mattityahu 19
19
1And it came to pass when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finished these devarim, he departed from the Galil and came into the regions of Yehudah east of the Yarden River.
2And a great multitude followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, who brought refuah (healing) to them there.
3And the Perushim approached him with a she'elah to test him, and they asked him, Is it mutar (permissible) for a man to give a get (divorce) to his wife for any and every reason?
4But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, Have you not read that HaBoreh (The Creator, Yotzer) bereshis (in the beginning) created them zachar (male) and nekevah (female)?#19:4 Gn 1:27; 5:2
5And he said, Because of this, YAAZAV ISH ES AVIV VES IMMO VDAVAK BISHTO VHAYU LVASAR ECHAD (a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his isha (wife), and the two will be one flesh).#19:5 Gn 2:24
6So they are no longer shnayim (two) but basar echad (one flesh). Therefore, whatever Hashem joined together, let no man divide asunder.
7They say to him, Why then did Moshe Rabbenu give the mitzvah to give the get, the sefer keritut, and send her away?
8He says to them, Moshe, because of your hardness of heart, permitted you to give the get to your wives; but from bereshis (in the beginning), however, it was not so.
9But I#19:9 Moshiach say to you that whoever, the case of zenut (fornication) being excepted, gives the get to his wife and marries another, is guilty of niuf (adultery).
10Moshiachʼs talmidim say to him, If thus is the case of the man with the wife, nikhnas lchuppah (to be wed) is not advantageous.
11But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Not everyone is able to accept this dvar torah, but rather those to whom it has been given.
12For there are sarisim (eunuchs) who from the womb of their Em were born thus, and there are sarisim who were made sarisim by men, and there are sarisim who make sarisim of themselves for the sake of the Malchut HaShomayim. The one able to receive this, let him receive it.
13Then yeladim were brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach that he might place his hands on them and say a bracha. However, Moshiachʼs talmidim rebuked them.
14But he said, Permit the yeladim to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Malchut HaShomayim.
15And having placed his hands on the yeladim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed from there.
16And one, having approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, said, Rebbe, what mitzvah, what good may I do that I may have Chayyei Olam?
17And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good, nu? But if you wish to enter into Chayyim (Life), do not fail to be shomer mitzvot.
18He says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Which mitzvah? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, LO TIRTZACH, LO TINAF, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHAH ED SHAKER, (You shall not murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness),
19KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA,#19:19 Ex 20:12-16; Dt 5:16-20 VAHAVTAH LREACHA KAMOCHA#19:19 Lv 19:18 (Honor your father and your mother, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself).
20The bocher (bachelor, young man) says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, I was shomer mitzvot and frum in all these things, so where do I still fall short?
21Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, If you wish to be tamim (perfect), if you wish to have shelemut (perfection, completeness), then go and sell your possessions and give to the aniyim (poor) and you will have otzar (treasure) in Shomayim. Then come and follow me.#19:21 Moshiach
22But having heard the divrei Moshiach, the young man went away with agmat nefesh (grief), for he was having many possessions.
23And he said to his talmidim, Omein, I say to you that an oisher with difficulty will enter into the Malchut HaShomayim.
24And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an oisher to enter into the Malchut HaShomayim.
25And when Moshiachʼs talmidim heard this, they were exceedingly astounded, saying, Who then is able to receive the Yeshu'at Eloheinu?
26And having looked upon them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With Bnei Adam it is impossible; but with Hashem all things are possible.
27Then Kefa said in reply to him, Hinei! We have left everything and followed you#19:27 as Moshiach! Where does that leave us?
28And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Omein, I say to you, that you, the ones having followed me, when the Briah (Creation) becomes Chadasha (New), when the Bar Enosh#19:28 Moshiach sits upon his Kisei Kavod (Throne of Glory), you also will sit upon the Shneym Asar Kisot (Twelve Thrones) judging the Shneym Asar Shivtei Yisroel.
29And anyone who left bais or achim or achayot or Abba or Em or banim or sadot (fields) on account of me#19:29 Moshiach and my Name (Yehoshua, Yeshua), will receive a hundred times over and will inherit Chayyei Olam.
30And many who are Rishonim (first ones) will be Acharonim (last ones), and the Acharonim, Rishonim.
